Title: Filling Problems...not the price!!
Post by: diggerdog36 on June 07, 2008, 18:54:22
When filling my disco, it takes ages, the main fill line fills up, then gargles down so I can refill it again. Filling the tank took 20 minutes, this is no exageration!!!  Ive checked the 1" diameter line that opens out into the filler neck and its clear.  I can blow down it with ease into the tank.  Ive just been looking in the workshop manuel and it blabbers on about a ROV Roll Over Valve???  Any one had similar problems or know the cure!!!!

You might find that the rubber coupling pipe, on the filling tube to the tank has delaminated on the inside, this causes a flap to restrict the flow. Had this on a JCB years ago.

Either that or the breather pipe blocked. Blow back with airline if possible or replace, then you know its not that

Ive done the 1" pipe that follows the filler tube, thats clear defo.

Whats the other thin tube connected to the tank??  Is that for when the level drops when you use fuel??
